Popular Post dieselmanchild Posted November 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) I just logged into YouTube and noticed a bunch of Elden Ring gameplay has been posted over the last couple hours. Choo choo! All aboard the hype train! A quick summary of things shown throughout the video: Look at the world map and some menus. The map will be filled in by collecting pieces/fragments found throughout the world. The map will also feature customizable markers allowing the player to mark locations of interest, special items, dangers, or reminders etc. No UI at all shown on screen. Not clear if this will be a toggled feature or if it’s permanent by default Navigational clues similar to Ghost of Tsushima (ray of light to guide you), but following the recommended path appears to be completely optional for the most part Ability to jump Ability to summon a mount on the spot. The surface world looks absolutely massive so this will obviously be an integral part of navigating between areas and objectives “Spirit springs” allowing for easy traversal of cliffs and vertical environments while on horseback The beloved binoculars are back. Why tho idk Crafting system available on the fly through inventory menu. Looks like you can create combat support items via materials collected throughout the world/from enemies Stealth system Seamless mix of melee and magical abilities. Magic and spirit summoning look to be major fundamental aspects of the combat system and look pretty bad ass Return of multiplayer co-op and PvP invasions! Looks to work exactly like previous games The over world environment is filled with various catacombs, tombs, and dungeons to discover and explore, with treasures and bosses to be discovered within Complex and multi-layered dungeons allowing each player to experiment with different pathways and strategies to progress First look at the first major dungeon Stormveil Castle and one of the “demigods” Godric the Golden, Ruler of Stormveil Castle Iron Pineapple uploaded a 25-min video from his early BETA Network test playthrough and his footage is absolutely insane!

It looks pretty fantastic at first look. This might be From Software’s biggest masterpiece since their last biggest masterpiece. The main difference here so far seems to be the open world aspect and the expansion of player agency. Allowing each person to decide exactly what path they carve through the world could potentially add a lot of replayability and make every run feel a lot different than the last. I’m particularly interested to see how this shapes up and whether it will end up being highly impactful in the overall feel and experience, or whether the whole open world thing just ends up being an empty gimmick to draw people in. So far it looks pretty great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAbyssWalker61 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) GOTY 2021. It's amazing like everything coming from Lord Miyazaki and FromSoftware.

Yeah there will always be some people whose expectations are just impossible to meet, up but generally it looks like the vast majority of people are hyped. And in my opinion, when it comes to the Soulsborne formula, more of the same is never a bad thing. Elden Ring very clearly has elements from their previous games and follows the same basic formula that has made these games so successful, yet there looks to be enough innovation and unique aspects to give the game a unique identity of it’s own, exactly like how they did with Bloodborne and Sekiro. Nobody can seriously claim those games were merely Dark Souls with a new coat of paint slapped on. Each one felt like a completely unique experience of it’s own, and based on what we’ve seen so far it looks like they’re going to achieve that once again with Elden Ring. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saiyanbloodstyle Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 It's absolutely amazing! It's basically dark souls 4 so if you love that series, this is a must play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunchCannon54 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Same enemies, same combat, same sound effects (I swear I heard the dragon's cry used for another boss in the same trailer), same everything. Only differences to me are the open world, the horse jumping and the creature summoning in combat. A few new additions but not enough to get excited about on my end. Looks just like DS3 but open world. Might wait for a sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yowzagabowza Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 As usual, the game world and characters all look awesome. The combat, also as usual, looks unnecessarily slow and dumpy. I do wonder about all those cool elemental attacks and the soul summoning. Like, will I be able to use that stuff often? Or will the materials required be rare enough that I have to save them for bosses? They also mentioned crafting, which is such a lame time waster in an open world game. It means I can't just go from here to there without looting a bunch of trees and shrubs. The most player friendly part I saw was no apparent fall damage. That is the best.

Bloodytears1666 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Still waiting for PS5 and avoiding spoilers for RE8, not have to dodge twice as hard with one too... But short frames I saw look amazing. Though, hope this mount riding is not something forced in boss battles and general gameplay, because I am not a big fan of this feature.

I sure hope they’re an integral part of every combat encounter and not just a rare, special-attack sort of thing to unleash on bigger mobs and bosses. I also wonder if they will be available to everyone, or if the combat we were shown was specific to certain kinds of magic based builds? The spells and summoning abilities are among the more interesting looking aspects of this new game so I hope they are a big part of the game and can be used frequently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scemopagliaccioh Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Magic has always been something soulsborne struggled with, so I’m happy they’re working on it, but I really want the UI and the damage above the enemies’ heads to be shown, I care not about immersion in a world where dragons exist, but the numbers show your character slowly getting stronger as the game progresses, and it’s vital for the rpg part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titanomachy_75 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Hard to say but at first glance if coop is all part of the game this one might be the easiest souls type game yet! What I saw it could be a coop game to the end seems that way not sure! But from the game play it looks like a easy souls game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copanele Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Well, preordering this one for sure. It's exactly what I wanted and expected + a jump button thank you From Software you needed an entire game (Sekiro) to develop that important mechanic And no, the sprint - hop whatever that is in Soulsborne can't be considered "jumping". More like certain death by gravity. Also...is this the first Fromsoft game to feature a map? ? it's the first Soulsborne/Sekiro game for sure! Regardless, can't wait to play this bad boy and go all ninja on that map. 17 hours ago, dieselmanchild said: The beloved binoculars are back. Why tho idk You can't make a proper "Amazing chest ahead" message without first using the binoculars. It is a KEY item in-game. Miyazaki knows his stuff. Also you can use it to aim spells from a greater distance but that's besides the point 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EverythingOnFire Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Not 100% my type of game, but it really does look interesting and gorgeous. Some distance shots look like oil paintings. I may have to give the game a try. Edited November 10, 2021 by EverythingOnFire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
